this is the problem i imagine there being with the engine. i believe G2 keyboard hardware is invaluable in organising your thoughts and integrating a more human touch with your creations. admittedly it is a lot more expensive but for very very good reason i believe. _________________ there's no I in TEAM, so let's all act as individuals instead |

Yeah, was thinking of getting the Keyboard too, but the price is twice as high! Now I pay € 810,- and I think the key version is not for less then € 1700,- It's also that you could use that money to expand the Engine with the board... it's all about choices But I agree, a keyboard version is always much nicer to edit, and easy with all the knobs to assign... What is wisdom.. I'll get the Engine to test it, and can always send it back in about 2 weeks for the keyboard version.. wish I was rich and not so smart Anyways thanx for the info, I'll let you know what I think about the machine it self. |
